Saw this quiz and since there are some Baby Boomers here, thought it'd be fun. I did get a couple wrong. Most of this is SO old school.  Anyway, if you wanna give it a shot. Sort of a memory lane type thing. TIS http://quizzes.howstuffworks.com/quiz/do...utm_medium=paid

Well, the baby boomers in the U.K "Never had it so good", to quote the then PM, Harold MacMillan, and it probably collarates with the US closely: 1). Education became free for all. 2) The advent of "free love" and subsequently continued their way towards modern sexual discrimination, 3). A booming housing market meant they could buy houses for next to nothing, then sat back and did nothing, and watched house-price inflation make the value of their nest-eggs soar. 4) Fucked up house prices 6). Learned barely little from the previous generation,arguably took us back a generation 7 Continually vote for unprogressive ideas 8. "Kept" their savings and then expected everyone else to look after them when their "old" - rather than bothering about how it might effect their kids mortgages
Unless you're a war hero or self made millionaire, you, as a baby boomer, should consider the total shit fucking mess you've really left for your kids and grandkids to pay for. YOU, yes, YOU, are to blame for a lot of the way things are..no matter how insignificant you feel in the grand scheme of things.
Just my 2 cents
